What are the disadvantages of LinkedIn?
Recruiters and employers both use LinkedIn to source candidates for employment, sometimes even using recently departed employees or newly-placed employees for career-networking opportunities of their own.
Has anyone got a job through LinkedIn?

Should I list all my jobs on LinkedIn?
Even if you've changed fields, your latest job isn't the only important one. "Unlike a resume, where you're trying to target one page toward a specific position, you should list your entire work history on LinkedIn," Williams says.
Should you put your resume on LinkedIn?
For most cases, it is best not to upload your resume to your LinkedIn profile. Uploading an application-specific resume to a job applied through LinkedIn is a good idea. If you do upload your resume to your profile, remember to protect your privacy and know that your job search is no longer private.
Can anyone see my LinkedIn profile?
Generally, your profile is fully visible to all LinkedIn members who've signed in to LinkedIn.com or our apps. You can limit the visibility of your posts and shares, profile photo, last name and birth date. If any member searches by your first or last name, they can see your full profile unless you've blocked them.
Why is LinkedIn so useless?
Its pointless because the social media side is ridiculous. People and companies are posting articles, images or videos and want people to engage with likes and comments. Problem, you may like something but you don't want to share it with your network because it has nothing to do with your professional profile.
